Real Dairy Ice Cream

Discover the remarkable journey of Burgess Ice Cream — a true East Yorkshire original with roots stretching back over a century. What began in the early 1920s as a humble family venture quickly transformed into one of the region’s most beloved ice cream brands. Founded by Mark Burgess, a former Mayor of Beverley, and his wife Muriel, the business started as a small grocery shop on North Bar Within, where their very first batches of ice cream were made on the kitchen stove. Sold only in their shop and the local cinema, the ice cream quickly won over the community.
